Economic and resource structure of the rare fraction of the flora of Kabardino-Balkaria

Abstract

The economic and resource structure of the rare fraction of the natural flora of Kabardino-Balkaria is considered. The reasons for the rarity of decorative, food, fodder, medicinal, wood-cellulose and melliferous groups of plants are analyzed on the basis of our own data, literary and archival materials.

Phytochemical composition of the underground part of Paeonia tenuifolia L. and leaves of Petrocoma hoefftiana (Fisch.) Rupr.

“…It has a strong regenerative ability: tiny rhizome segments can give rise to a new plant [1]. It occurs in Kabardino-Balkaria's grassland, where practically all age groups with a predominance of generative individuals are present in populations [2]. The Paeonia tenuifolia is an ornamental species that has been introduced into many botanical gardens.…”
